Local Resources

For those of you who are in the local area, and by that I mean the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I wanted to pass along some information about resources to you.

First, (this is not limited to the U.P.), Freecycle! I cannot tell you how many things I have received and passed along through Marquette Freecycle. The whole purpose of this international group is to prevent items from going to the landfill by posting items to give away. You can post something you would like to pass along OR you can post something you are looking for. This is a GREAT way to upcycle!

Second, Yooper Yardsale. This is a lot like freecycle in that it is run through a yahoo group BUT items through this listing are typically for sale. You can post items you are selling OR buy things through this group. Again, I have found so many GREAT items through this group!

Hi! I'm Amy,the owner of Child Central Station- a registered home daycare in Marquette, Michigan. I love how the internet supports a strong sense of "community" without geographic borders.
I have been running my own childcare business since August 2005. I love that the internet has provided a platform to share and connect with parents, homeschooling families and other early childhood professionals.
